The suspense is finally over.
Yannick Bestaven (Maître Coq IV) crossed the finish line of the Vendée Globe on Thursday 28 January in third position but was declared the winner due to compensation he was receiving for having taken part in the rescue of Kevin Escoffier.
Charlie Dalin (Apivia) was the first to complete the round-the-world tour on Wednesday at 8:35 p.m., followed by Louis Burton (Bureau Vallée 2) four hours later, but neither of them was affected by compensation and they therefore finished second and third respectively in the solo round the world race.
